Cheesy Pork Taco Rice

Ingredients

3 poblano chiles
1 pound ground pork
1 large onion, chopped, divided
1 cup long-grain rice
1 packet taco seasoning mix
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
Zest and juice from half a lime
3 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped, divided
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup roasted corn, thawed (I used Trader Joe’s frozen brand)
¾ cup taco blend cheese, shredded
Top with sour cream, if desired

Preparation

1
Set broiler to high. Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2
Place the peppers on the foil-lined sheet, and spray with cooking spray.
3
Broil for 6 minutes, then flip over the peppers. Spray with cooking spray again, and broil for another 6 minutes.
4
Carefully remove the peppers from the heat and tightly wrap them all together in the foil that lined the pan. Let the peppers steam for 15 minutes.
5
Open the packet and remove the outer skin from the peppers. Next, remove the stem and the seeds. Chop into bite size pieces and wash your hands thoroughly.
6
Reduce the oven temperature to 425°F.
7
Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat; stir in the ground pork, ½ of the chopped onion, rice, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, cover and place in the oven. Cook 20 minutes until the pork and rice are full cooked.
8
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, other ½ onion, limejuice, lime zest and 1 tablespoon cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
9
Take pork and rice dish out of the oven and stir in the poblano peppers, roasted corn, other and 2 tablespoons cilantro. Sprinkle cheese on top and let stand for 2 minutes to melt. Sprinkle the salsa on top and garnish with sour cream, if desired.
